Another week down...

Hi Again,

Here we are 35 & 1/2 weeks and all seems well. Blood pressure is still on the high side, but the lower side of the hypertension which is good. Our Dr. asked both of us how big we were when we were born and we told him and he is pretty convinced that the baby is defiantly going to be bigger than that. We have an ultrasound scheduled for the 23rd to see if we can determine the exact size of our watermelon....as much as possible anyway.

Ankles are swelling, hands are swelling and I am gaining the weight they expect me to gain now, which is pretty much baby :) Nothing fits, there are no comfortable positions sitting or standing. Sleep is a fleeting thought and I still have 4 1/2 weeks :) Let's get this show on the road!!!!

Take Care, Bye for now :)

If it makes you feel any better, I am experiencing the same thing - at least we know we are normal! I told Joe that my lack of ability to sleep better not be a sign that Gabe plans to be up all night long. I don't remember it being this bad with Lucy. The swelling is miserable! Fortunately, I don't have it this time around, but it was very bad with Lucy. I was told to eat watermelon because it's natural diuretic. Hang in there - only 33 more days :)
